A closer look at Los Angeles sexual assaults neighborhood by neighborhood

The danger is not the same neighborhood to neighborhood. ABC7’s data team looked at data from the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by neighborhood from 2019 through December 05, 2022, the latest date for which records are available from the two agencies.

The map color codes each police district by the sexual assault rate over the last 12 months. The three darker blue areas are neighborhoods with sexual assault rates higher than the citywide rate. You can also choose to see neighborhoods by the number of reported sexual assaults.
